WOW! Walk for Women

A Step Toward Ending Hunger, Poverty and Disease

Celebrate the power and potential of women around the world! 


Join or help organize a WOW! Walk for Women. For the last three years, women and girls, boys and men have gathered to raise awareness of the challenges women face around the globe and to raise money to help them build better lives for themselves, their families and their communties. 


Though often held on International Women’s Day each March, any day is a great time for a walk to commemorate the incredible strides that women have made, but also to remind us that everyone must continue in this endeavour to achieve equality, peace and development for all. 


So what better way to show our solidarity with women around the world than to walk! Women still face very dire situations around the world: 

  • Women make up 70 percent of the nearly 3 billion people living on less than $2 a day
  • Girls make up the majority of the 72 million children who are not in school
  • Women are dying at a rate of 500,000 a year from preventable complications of pregnancy
  • At least 1 out of every 3 women is likely to be beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime

  • Interested in planning a WOW! Walk for Women? Contact us for more information and a free toolkit to help you get going. Or download the toolkit here. Have some fun for a good cause!
